Sweet Can't wait to go give it a go! Thanks for your help again!

Maybe I will try that then, I didn't know how is best to adjust and have been adjusting with the carb closed. Perhaps it has just slipped. I think I understand this and have done this to an extent. I did wonder if this is a sufficient way to adjust the idle without the screw and whether or not this would put a lot of pressure on the servo. So in short you want the slider to open fully and close (to the 1mm gap) with the least amount of movement either way? Thank you so much for your help

OK I understand better now The only thing is that when i screw in the idle fully and apply the break (this was prior to putting my break linkage in the correct position) the slide still closed fully, stalling the engine. So the screw still allowed this to close. What do you think would cause this problem? So a different but not unrelated question; when people show videos of them loosening and/or tightening their idle screw which allows their carb slider to move, this is because their servo and linkage is set to so the slider is 'pushing' against the stopper? In other words, the linkage/springs should be as tight as possible? Thanks very much for your help I really appreciate it, I'm still new but love to learn!

Hi Guys I was wondering if anyone could help me. I have been trying to tune my 1/8 buggy (Maverick Stealth XB) as it idles at incredibly high revs. However much i turn my idle screw it doesn't open or close the slider in the carb. To compensate I have adjusted my throttle servos but this is only a temporary solution as I still need to make small adjustments. I have taken the screw all the way out to see if it is threaded or broken and all seems well. Is there anything else I should be looking for? Could it be an issue with the carb itself or the housing? If so please could anyone advise how to take a slide carb apart for general maintenance. Any help is appreciated Thanks
